INGREDIENTS
1 cup Chickpeas (164g)
1/4 medium Onion (28g)
2 cloves Garlic (6g)
1/2 cup chopped Fresh Parsley (30g)
1 tsp Ground Cumin (2g)
1 tsp Ground Coriander (2g)
1/2 tsp Baking Powder (2g)
1/2 tsp Salt (3g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1 tbsp Tahini Paste (15g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (15g)
2 cups Mixed Greens (85g)
1/2 cup sliced Cucumber (52g)
1/2 cup chopped Tomato (90g)
1/2 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt (120g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then add them to a food processor along with the onion, garlic, and fresh parsley. Pulse until roughly combined but not completely smooth; you want a bit of texture.
Add ground cumin, ground coriander, baking powder, salt, and olive oil to the mixture. Pulse again until everything is well distributed, but avoid over-processing to maintain a chunky texture.
Scoop the mixture into small patties or balls (about 3-4 per serving) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the falafel for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crisping.
While the falafel bakes, whisk together tahini paste and lemon juice with a splash of water to achieve a smooth, drizzle-able consistency. Season lightly with a pinch of salt if desired.
Assemble a fresh salad by tossing the mixed greens with cucumber and tomato in a bowl.
Serve the crispy baked falafel atop the salad, drizzled with the tahini sauce, and add a side dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.
